What courses of study are like at universities that offer environmental engineering

Environmental engineers should be creative, inquisitive, analytical, and detail oriented. They must have a strong grasp of mathematics, including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus; sciences, such as biology, chemistry, and physics; and computer systems. Abilities to work as part of a team and to communicate well also will be important as environmental engineers' jobs become more diversified and require interaction with specialists outside engineering. To hone these skills, recommended coursework includes English, social studies, and humanities.

A bachelor's degree in environmental or civil engineering is generally required for entry-level environmental engineering jobs. Of the 330 colleges and universities offering accredited bachelor's degree programs in engineering, 34 offer programs in environmental engineering or related fields, such as environmental resources or systems engineering.

Program accreditation, by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, is based on an engineering program's student achievement, program improvement, faculty, curriculum, facilities, and institutional commitment.

Bachelor's degree programs in engineering usually are designed to last 4 years, but many student take between 4 and 5 years to complete their studies. In a typical 4-year curriculum, the first 2 years are spent studying mathematics, basic sciences, introductory engineering, humanities, and social sciences.

In the last 2 years, most courses are in engineering, usually with a concentration in one branch. For example, the last 2 years of an environmental program might include courses in solid waste management, treatment plant design, hydraulic design, and hazardous waste management.

Some 4-year engineering programs admit students for the final 2 years of study after they have
